Hi Levente,

Noob problem, please be patient.

I am having trouble figuring out how to connect through ssh. I am not experienced
with this so I am probably doing something wrong.

I created new keys with ssh-keygen, and copied the public key to box3 with

   $ ssh-copy-id ssdotcom at squeaksource.com

This works fine, and I can ssh to davidlewis at box3.squeak.org without entering
a password, so I think that the keys are working.

I then do this to set up the tunneling:

   $ ssh -N -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 davidlewis at box3.squeak.org

I am using a Vinagre remote desktop viewer, and I connect to 127.0.0.1:1
to make the connection. I see this error in the window where I set up the
tunneling:

   $ ssh -N -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 davidlewis at box3.squeak.org
   channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

So I think that I am doing something wrong here.

I am assuming that I should get a connection to an X11 desktop on box3,
although I should mention that the VM for squeaksource.com is running
headless, so its Squeak window would not be visible in an X11 desktop.

Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Dave
